THE DRINK PROBLEM.
Senator Palmer Says 1t Must Be Solved, and
the Republican Party Must Do 1t.

as follows on the temperance question:

Bishop Tsylors Mission a Failure.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
New YORK. Dec. 28-J. C. Waller. his wife
and two children, who went from Rurlng ton
VT, to the Congo country to take part in Bishop
Taylors ''sef f-supporting missionary" scheme,
have returned and are in this city. Mr.
Waller describes the enterprise a complete
failure. and thinks he was lucky to escape alive.
He says there is chance for missionary work
as the struggle for existence occupies all the
time of the unfortunate members of the colony.
The climate breeds sickness, the soil is not pro-
ductiye. and white men cannot endure the peces-

THE FUEL SUPPLY.
Louisville Short of Coal, and the Shivering
Citizens Forced to Pay Exorbtant Prices.

LOUISVILLE, Dec. 26.-The question of a fuel
supply in the Ohio valley is regarded by some as
becoming very serious one. The long contin-
ued drought and the probabilities of its continu-
ance, with the small stocks of coal from Pitts
burg the main source of supply. is causing
much anxiety among those who failed earlier in
the winter. to make provision. There is no
probability, however, of a coal famine such as
has been experienced in the past, owing to the
supply from the Kentucky mines. Louisville
consumes. upon average. 20, 600 bushels
day. and ordinarily by far the larger portion of
ers of the city together do not hold in stock more
than 20, 600 bushels of Pttsburg coal, and it re-
qu1reS ten-foot rise in the river at Pittsburg
to let the waiting feet of 10. COO 900 bushels out
More than half of this will come to Louisville
but the probability of a rise in the Chic is small
good authorities expressing the belief that
freeze-up viii soon occur which will delay relief
from Pittsburg until some time in February. In
the meantime the price of coal has advanced
nearly 100 per cent. and the poor are suffering
correspondilgly. During the past week the
railroads have brought to the city an aver
age of 1000 bushels daily. and the managers
say that this can be increased sufficiently to sup
ply the demand. Notwithstanding the state
mentS of the railroad authorities every coal
dealer in the city is from four to seven DAYS be-
hind his orders. Summing up the situation it
will be seen that the circumstances demonstrate
Louisvilles good fortune in having within I25
miles. an inexhaustible supply of coal accessible
to the railroads, and the worst feature is the
hardship to the poor classes by the high prices
which will probably go still higher owing to the
competition from Pittsburg being shut of.
